The university of Strathclyde is located right in the city centre, this means you have easy access to places such as cafes, pubs and shops. This ALSO means you get to walk to most clubs for nights out! The union is one of the best ones in my opinion. Main complaint is the hills that you have to climb for lectures! You’ll have to get used to that… some of the buildings that are part of Strathclyde look old and abandoned, but the murals make up for it to be honest. Overall, Strathclyde is a very modern, supportive and social university!

Product Design is a fun course however if you’re doing it with Engineering (Product Design Engineering) you’ll have to have some former experience with physics because you’ll be doing Engineering Mechanics as a class which was quite a struggle for me! On the other hand there’s Product Design Innovation which does not involve physics/maths and instead is more design and business orientated.

City centre so everything is close by and walking distance for shopping, eating and clubbing etc.

Birkbeck Court is notorious for being a “slum”, however, I believe it’s the people that make it great and not the place itself. Sure, you’ve got a small room with no sink and you share two bathrooms within the 6 of you, but the experience is great if you’re a social and outgoing person! The amount of memories you form in halls is super worth it and having fun friends is definitely a bonus that you may be lucky to have! There are friends I have from Buchanan View who say they’d rather stay in Birkbeck (I can’t believe it haha) and it’s simply due to the social aspect of it. Id say the best halls to go for are Murray Hall, then Birkbeck Court then Garnett Hall. Birkbeck just doesn’t have a sink in your room but it’s honestly not a big deal, you get used to it very fast. The amount of money you save is extreme compared to going into second year looking for accommodation outside of Strathclyde. P.S. the walls are very thin, you hear A LOT of stuff. Regardless though you’ll be hearing a lot of outside noise from parties etc. fun.

The campus look and feel, facilities and the staff management is pretty good. I'd suggest to promote more practical learning and course related cooperative activities in groups of students, for more efficient growth and learning of students about their course. Overall, satisfied with the exposure!

My course is highly diversified which requires people to be working together in a company/companies of the professional world or either as a one way individual, if you chose it as a career. It's highly beneficial for us students since we get to explore multiple personalities and exchange skills/ideas with people you connect from various parts of the world enrolled for the same course as us. Hence developing our communication and body language skills as well. The difficulty facing would be in time management of the operations of an organization and rising competitiveness in the business environment these days for hiring.
